Installation and Operation Manual
Avaya IP-DECT Base Station & IP-DECT Gateway version 7.2.x
Appendix C: Install Certificate in the Web Browser
To access the GUI for an IPBS/IPBL using secure web access (https), the certificate for the
IPBS/IPBL can be installed in the web browser to avoid getting certificate error messages.
To install the certificate, perform the following two steps:
Step 1. Create a certificate. See C.1 Create a Certificate.
Step 2. Install the certificate in the web browser. See C.2 Install the Certificate.
C.1
Create a Certificate
Note: Make sure the name you use to access the IPBS/IPBL is in the "Common Name" of the
certificate (e.g. IP-address) or if the name is an FQDN, in the "DNS Name". The Web Browser
will require a match when validating the certificate information.
Create a certificate by selecting one of the following two types of certificate handling options:
•
Self-signed certificate
This option is for customers not planning on having their certificates signed by public or
private CAs. Self-signed certificates provide encryption but do in most cases not provide
authentication. For more information see
•
Certificates signed by a Certificate Authority (CA)
Two options are possible:
A Certificates signed by the customer's own CA. Customers possessing the knowledge and
infrastructure to house their own CA could build an internal enterprise CA, enabling them to
sign (approve) their own certificate requests. This would make the customer a private CA.
B Certificates signed by a trusted public third party entity/organization. There are only about
a dozen issuers who have the authority to sign certificates for servers worldwide. An
example is VeriSign. To use a public CA for certificate approvals the IP-DECT system
would in most cases need to be connected to the Internet and hold a fully qualified domain
name. For more information see
on page 32.
C.2
Install the Certificate
The instructions below apply for Internet Explorer version 8 and may differ for later versions.
Note: If your PC is running Windows Vista or later, select "run as administrator" for Internet
Explorer.
